Thought to be a young male grizzly, Tripaweed has been spotted galloping unevenly around the entrance to the 6-million-acre park for the past three weeks, happily waving his now-healed half-leg in the air, and was even spotted by tourists leaping over a guard rail.

“They said he looked very agile,” explained Owen. “I don’t think he has any trouble getting around.”

The wildlife experts don’t know exactly how Tripawed was injured, explaining he could have been caught in a trapping snare meant for a wolf or lynx.
